As an observer, she quickly realized that the location of this memory should be Elise's room, after all, she was familiar with this place and had slept there countless times.
Just as she was wondering if the maid had discovered her relationship with Elise, she saw herself holding a long sword and looking indifferent in this memory.
She saw the terror on Elise's face, but she still stammered to her indifferent self, "I did everything by myself, it has nothing to do with her, don't hurt her."
The "she" that Elise was referring to was the little maid who stood in front of her with a wary expression.
Nora looked at this memory with a look of confusion in her eyes. When did this happen? Why did she have no recollection of it?
Furthermore, even when facing death, Elise wouldn't be this out of control, would she?
While she was in a daze, Nora saw herself coldly slap the little maid away and then cut off Iris's head with a sword. In that instant, a memory suddenly surfaced in Nora's mind.
That was a memory triggered when Elise gave her special training. Back then, whenever she swung her weapon at Elise, the image of Elise dying in front of her would appear in her mind.
The scene before him gradually overlapped with the memory of Elise's death, and the little maid's hateful gaze was exactly the same as the way she had looked at him before.
Nora felt as if her brain had exploded at that moment. She gradually understood everything. What she had seen before was not an illusion, but a fragment of a memory that had happened. She also understood why the little maid was so hostile to her.
The image of Elise dying countless times in front of her caused Nora immense shock, and she unconsciously withdrew from that memory.
Sweat had soaked her clothes without her noticing, and the silk thread in her hand, which felt as light as a feather, now seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds.
How many times have I actually killed her?!
Volume 1: Chapter 503 Again and Again
In the magnificent exhibition hall, Nora looked at the exhibits in the display cases, all of which were related to her memories of her past life.
But that was only in the past life; there were no memories of anything before that.
Unconsciously, she walked to the entrance of the exhibition hall. Looking at the door sealed by countless chains, her intuition told her that the answer she was looking for was hidden behind this door.
Nora tried to use her strength to open the door, but no matter how hard she tried, the chains remained firmly in place.
She punched the door and then silently left the exhibition hall.
Nora, now refreshed, looked at the memory threads in her hand, a struggle flashing in her eyes.
But she quickly reassessed her will and then began to peruse the memories within the threads of memory once more.
Meanwhile, Elise, who was deep in thought in her room, suddenly heard the door open. She turned to look at the maid who had entered the room, a faint smile appearing on her face: "Weren't you just going to get something? Why did it take so long?"
"It's nothing, I just chatted with someone on the way. But more importantly, Miss, may I sleep with you tonight?" The maid stared intently at her mistress, her desire undisguised.
Elise, of course, would not refuse her maid's request.
As the barrier of silence was opened, an atmosphere of pleasure filled the entire room, and desire blossomed at that moment.
……
The next day, early morning.
When Elise woke up, she found that the little maid was no longer in the room.
However, as soon as she woke up, the maid went straight into the room.
Looking at the marks left on her mistress's body because of her, the little maid felt shy and awkwardly looked at her mistress, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"What's wrong? You didn't show any tenderness or pity last night~" To be honest, Elise didn't expect the little maid to be so proactive and excited in this regard.
"Last night, last night I was just... just thinking that I hadn't seen Miss for a long time, so I was a little excited," the maid whispered in her defense.
Elise didn't expose her, but looked at her with a half-smile and said, "How am I supposed to go out and face people like this?"
Seeing that the little maid was clearly stunned for a moment, Elise's lips curled up slightly. However, she didn't want to tease her little maid too much and quickly used her life power to completely erase the strawberry marks left by the little maid.
The maid who noticed this breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, even without using life force, she could have been treated with healing potions. She had just had a momentary lapse in judgment and hadn't thought of it.
There's nothing that can be done about it; when it comes to her mistress's affairs, the maid tends to overthink things.
After some time, Elise, having changed her clothes and washed up, came out of the room with the help of her maid.
It's getting late; the sun is already high in the sky.
But to Elise's surprise, she saw Nora when she went downstairs for breakfast.
You know, Nora rarely sleeps in. Even if she's exhausted, she'll still get up early to exercise. What happened yesterday?
If Elise remembers correctly, Nora seemed to be full of energy when she came back. Could it be that she, like Elena, can grow up in her dreams?
Hearing the noise, Nora subconsciously glanced at Elise, and at that moment, various images of Elise dying at her hands involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
The little maid gave her so many memories, so many that she couldn't finish reading them all in one night.
She had almost lost count of how many times she had killed Elise. Elise, who had initially waited to be killed, later began to try to fight back in various ways.
But at that time, she was so powerful that even when Elise found Elena, or even the immortal Theresa, they were often unable to stop her.
Even if the assassination fails for some reason, he will always find another way to kill Elise after a while, over and over again.
In the little maid's memory, she could clearly feel the fear and despair in Elise's eyes when she looked at her.
Looking at Elise's smiling gaze, Nora wondered why, despite having killed her so many times, Elise could still give her such a gentle smile.
In fact, in their previous life, they were even willing to die for him.
Elise also noticed that Nora's mood was off; she seemed to be less able to look her in the eye and even started to avoid her gaze.
This is practically impossible for Nora, given her personality. So what happened last night that caused such a change in Nora?
Could it be that she has remembered some memories from her past life?
But even if he remembered that he died to save her, this situation shouldn't have occurred.
This reminded Elise of when she was training Nora, who almost became withdrawn because Nora would hallucinate that she was being killed every time Nora swung her sword at her.
Nora now is just like the situation that would have occurred if she hadn't addressed it in time.
"Wait a minute, come with me for a walk." Although it sounded like he was asking Nora's opinion, his tone was very firm, giving Nora no chance to refuse.
Faced with Elise now, Nora felt she couldn't bring herself to refuse, and could only nod silently.
When the maid next to her heard that her mistress was going out with Nora, she instinctively wanted to say something, but she felt her mistress gently squeeze her hand under the table.
Although she didn't say anything, the little maid clearly understood what her mistress meant.
Although she didn't really want Nora to be alone with her young mistress, she didn't say anything more since her mistress had already hinted at it.
After quickly resolving the breakfast issue, Elise pulled Nora along and left Elira's mansion.
Feeling the warmth and delicate touch of Elise's hand, Nora's expression became somewhat dazed, as if she could see the hand limply falling to its side.
How many times had she seen Elise die? By the time she found Elise, she was already lifeless.
In her memory, she had only glanced at Elise indifferently before leaving, but now she understood the despair in Elise's heart when she chose to commit suicide.
Feeling Nora tremble slightly, Elise tightened her grip on Nora's hand and asked softly, "Tell me, what happened?"
Volume 1: Chapter 504 Twisted Emotions
Nora instinctively wanted to refuse, but Elise seemed to have already guessed that she wouldn't say anything, and took the opportunity to move closer to her while asking her questions.
A strange heart-shaped mark appeared in Elise's eyes. Nora instinctively tried to close her eyes to resist the other's charm, but it was too late.
Nora, under her spell, had no choice but to recount the events of the previous night, bit by bit.
Upon hearing that the maid had given her her memories, Elise instantly understood why the maid had seemed so troubled and hesitant to face her.
If nothing unexpected happens, the memories the maid gave Nora must be memories of Nora killing herself.
No wonder she seemed withdrawn; those memories must have had a significant impact on her.
Elise's body trembled involuntarily, and her breathing seemed to become much heavier at this moment. A morbid pleasure began to spread through her body.
Isn't this exactly what she wanted to see? The protagonist falls in love with her, suddenly remembers the memories of killing her, and suffers unbearable pain. That bitterness, that inability to face herself, is simply irresistible.
Suddenly, Nora found herself seemingly able to regain control of her body; the allure seemed to have been dispelled without her even realizing it.
She looked at Elise, who still had a smile on her face, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Why, even though I've killed you so many times, can you still smile at me like that?"
"Of course it's because I love you~" Elise answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
Nora stared blankly at Elise before her, whose eyes were now radiating an intense, burning love. In a daze, Elise's figure seemed to gradually overlap with the statue of the goddess of love in the Church of Aphrodite.
In fact, even Elise herself had forgotten how many times Nora had killed her, and she had thought countless times that it would be nice to die forever.
But each time she is killed, she wakes up in her familiar bed and waits for her next death.
After being killed countless times, Elise felt that her mind was becoming a little abnormal. She thought that since she couldn't die, she would try her best to survive, even if it meant getting close to those who had killed her countless times.
The resentment from being killed countless times made this already difficult task even more challenging.
Just as she once said about Eric, she displayed inappropriate emotions when she should have been lying low, and she died many times because of it.
However, those deaths also taught her how to twist hatred and fear towards someone into love.
Only by first distorting everything about yourself can you drag the other person down into the abyss together.
This distortion made Elise's mind increasingly morbid, and she could only find some solace in the end when she saw people crying and begging her not to die.
For example, Nora now gives Elise a morbid sense of pleasure. If Wendy were nearby, she could smell the scent emanating from Nora without even getting close.
The once dormant mark of pleasure, as if stimulated by something, resurfaced uncontrollably in Elise's sapphire-like pupils, and even the patterns of the mark became more bizarre and complex.
In the distant Church of Aphrodite, Eloise sat on the steps at the church entrance, silently gazing in the direction of Elise, and murmured, "I think I understand why the original chose you as its successor."
"But I clearly..."
Before Nora could finish speaking, Elise's fingertips were already pressed against her lips: "I know what you're going to say. Actually, my deaths were all related to my own recklessness. You don't need to take it too seriously."
"But even though I said that, knowing your personality, you'll probably still hold a grudge, right?"
“If that’s the case, then you should take responsibility and not let anyone else kill me.” Elise rested her forehead on Nora’s shoulder. “Otherwise, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”
Nora felt that she had so much to say to Elise, but Elise's few simple words had shut her up completely.
In fact, she could have simply ignored it, as Elise suggested, since it happened in the previous cycle. But she had already seen it and remembered it, so how could she not care?
If she could just ignore it, she wouldn't be Nora.
"I won't let you die in front of me, absolutely not," Nora said softly.
"Great, it seems your problem has been solved. Now, come shopping with me."
Even Nora didn't expect Elise to change so quickly, when the atmosphere just now was completely different.
And isn't someone eyeing Elise? Is it really okay for them to go shopping so openly?
While Nora was still in a daze, her hand was grabbed by Elise, and she unconsciously followed in Elise's footsteps.
As the capital of the kingdom, Castor is a very large city. Although she had stayed here for a while before, she hadn't been able to explore the whole city.
Nora was in a bad mood today, so I took her out for a walk to cheer her up.
Although that's what she said, Elise actually just wanted to see the guilt Nora showed from time to time.
As Nora accompanied Elise shopping, she cautiously kept a watchful eye on her surroundings. After all, she had just promised Elise that she would protect her, and she had to keep her promise.
Otherwise, I'd definitely regret it for the rest of my life, right?
Thinking of this, Nora couldn't help but think of the exhibition hall deep in her consciousness. She was now certain that the memories in the exhibition hall were all from her past life, but that was all there was to it.
The feeling of watching Elise die right before my eyes in my past life must have been incredibly painful, right?
Nora's gaze once again involuntarily fell on Elise. Just thinking about it sent a chill down her spine.
As if sensing her gaze, Elise tilted her head involuntarily: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Nora shook her head, then silently took Elise's hand. Even though they were so close, she could react no matter what happened.
But at this moment, she still felt more at ease holding the other person's hand.
Elise, whose hand was being held, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that you've become a bit more enlightened after remembering more things."
I accidentally fell asleep yesterday, I'll make up for the missed updates later, love you all.
Volume 1: Chapter 505 Are you looking for me?
In the evening, Elise, who had been out all day, brought Nora back to their residence.
The maid looked at Nora, who had returned with her mistress. Although Nora was still in low spirits, she seemed to be in much better condition than in the morning.
No one knew what her young mistress had said to her that made Nora emerge from those memories so quickly.
However, judging from Nora's previous behavior, it was the right choice to copy those memories to her. If nothing unexpected happens, it should trigger her guilt and make her protect the young lady even more diligently.
Sensing the maid's gaze, Nora hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked up to her and said softly, "Now I know why you wanted to kill me."
